REFLECTOR ATTACHMENT FOR LAMPS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 308,895, dated December 9, 1884.

Application filed February 13, 1894. (No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, ELBERT N. HAYES and VVALTER J. KIMBALL, citizens of the United States, residing at Bremond, in the ney of an ordinarycoalbil or other handlamp. These objects I attain by means of the device illustrated in the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which Figure l is a view in elevation showing the entire device as applied. Fig. 2 is a modification, and shows the device detached from the chimney.

A represents an ordinary hand-lamp. B is a common chimney of any shape or size. 0 is a reflector made of metal highly polished,or other suitable material, preferably of tin, to be light and easily attached, having a concave face to throwthe rays of light in any desired direction. D is a device for attaching the reflector to the bottom of the chimney. It may be made of one or more pieces and of any suitable material, preferably of one piece of brass, that will spring and bend without breaking. This device is secured to the reflector by any suitable means, preferably by soldering the part cl to the back side of the reflector. It then extends around the reflector to the chimney by a part, (1', which may be bent in any desired shape to raise or lower the reflector and to tip the same back or forward to regulate the direction of the rays of light to be thrown or reflected. It is attached in any place on the lower end of the lamp-chimney by the part d on the outside and d on the inside of the lamp-chimney, and by the part d*, which is preferably made flat. A loop or clamp,d is formed to receive the lower edge of the chimney,which rests upon the part dfland is firmly held by the pressure of the parts d d at a point, d, near their tops, but preferably made nearly parallel, as shown. The upper end of the part cl is bent outward toward the chimney and made of sufficient length to reach a point, (i in the enlarged part of the chimney for firmly securing the same; but it may be bent outward, as shown in modification at d, that it may be more easily attached to and detached from the chimney. Thus the reflector is removed and placed on the lamp with the chimney in lighting, &c., and, being attached at the bottom of the chimney, it is not smoked or tarnished by the heat from the lamp. It can be made easily, as it is very simple.

Having thus described the construction and use of our invention, what we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is 1.' The combination of a lamp-reflectorwith a lamp-chimney and a rod, D, said rod being attached to the reflector and having a part, d, for adjusting the reflector, parts d d, to clasp the chimney, and a part, at, made flat to rest beneath the edge of the chimney, substantially as shown and described.

2. An attachment, D, combined with a reflector, G, and chimney B, said attachment having the parts d d on the outside, the part 02 made flat to rest beneath the lower edge of the chimney, and the part d*, on the inside, extending upward and outward into the bowl of the chimney at d, substantially as specified, for the purpose set forth.

In testimony whereof we affix our signatures in presence of two witnesses.
